Vegetarianism

People who switch to a vegetarian lifestyle do so for many reasons. It might be for the purpose of reducing suffering, improving ones health, environmental issues, or religious requirements. Just to name a few.

Whether is by choice or circumstances, leading an animal friendly lifestyle do make a difference in the world. By abstaining from meat, eggs, diaries and other animal by products from your life, you can make a statement against cruelty to animals, raise awareness toward environmental issues which results in helping to heal the earth, as well as gain health benefits. By supporting the production of vegetarian products through your purchases, you are supporting a more sustainable vegetarian lifestyle. It also helps to send a strong message to the society to become aware of a more humane way of living.

Contrary to popular believe of boring, tasteless dishes with limited choice, the fact is that you don’t have to go without your usual favorite food at all. Here are some of the many foods that are available.

You can get veggie burgers, hot dogs or sausages, tofu, minced meat, bacon, almond milk, soy milk, rice milks (mostly fortified with calcium, vitamins D and vitamin B12), non-diary ice cream, sorbets, desserts, cheeses, etc…from most supermarkets. You can even find a variety of vegetarian beers, wines, and champagne too, if you look hard enough. Not to mention the different types of fruits, grains, nuts, seeds and vegetables to choose from. And if you are craving for some more local food, you can also get chicken rice, rojak, mee rebus, mee siam, laksa, shark fin soups, and a whole variety of hawker food choices, from vegetarian food stalls & food courts that are scattered in many towns areas in Singapore.

So you see? There is an abundance choice of food and living a life of compassion by adopting the vegetarian way could most probably change your life for the better.
